These regulations were those As recommended at the Clear Lake convention of the Manitoba federation of game and fish associations. A we had Good Duck season be fore the game and fish butted into one Hunter remarked in comment of the regulations. He has forgotten the time element when we had 25 Birds a Day and suddenly found no ducks. The season is longer than that originally set last year. This makes the comparison Between Western provinces better. All seem to have had a better study of conditions than last cannot com Plain. Some hoped for earlier opening Date but if they read the reports carried in this column during the season they should realize we can not have it this year. Sure Birds Are in the Grain but Many More Are still in the Marsh flightless. The Hatch was late. This was caused by flood conditions. Many Birds Are still getting their Young into the air. Open ing Date Ron marshes will find Many flightless Birds even with october 1 opening. But. We May get a better shoot from All this. Reports from the North state we must have a Long warm fall if the Birds Are to get away. This should give us a Good steady flight of Northern Birds through out the season. And the Birds Are plentiful. They have had a Good season and Breeding Stock for another year should be up in numbers. American Hunters Are again shooting Small bag limits and All looks Well for the ducks. Whether or not the Birds Are going to be definitely Over the slump is up to you As a sportsman. Some of you Over Shol your bag last year. You left smal ducks to rot on the Marsh. You threw them away from your bag when you dropped a Mallard. You were not fair to your neighbor or to your kid and mine. Brother Don t do it this year. Re member that Good natured Guy Yot met on the Marsh last year. The one who wore a game wardens badge and acted like a shooting companion. He s a year older now and still a grand Chap. Be Able to look him in the Eye and offer him a drink of hot Coffee. Don t by afraid to let him look at your bag gun. Licence or search the Reeds. If you play the game hell play along with you. Let s make this season n sports Man s season.
